I’ve been wanting a shield-shaped flag banner for a while now, but wasn’t able to find a pattern that I liked, so I ended up making one myself. It’s super simple to do, and the little flags whip up in a jiffy, even when you do multiple colors and have to weave in those ends. It looks great in solids, too, though I didn’t snap any photos of any. I may make one in a different set of colors, for seasonal decorating.

Each banner measures approx. 3″ x 3″. Gauge isn’t an issue, and the pattern should work with any yarn and an appropriately-sized hook, but you’ll get bigger flags with thicker yarn.

Great project for using up stash!
